"Muse Markets was founded by a group of artists, entrepreneurs and organizers who want to elevate conscious consumption, according to their mission statement. Conscious consumption refers to making ethical and sustainable purchase decisions that have positive social, economic and environmental impacts. Similar events have been established in San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. The Muse Market in Los Gatos will feature over 40 independent brands, artists, designers and curators."
"The brand is also facing a federal lawsuit in a disability discrimination case. According to a press release by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, an employee asked for unpaid leave after her doctor diagnosed her with postpartum depression. Her request was allegedly denied and she was fired in the following months. The case is filed in the U.S. District Court for Northern District of California."
Muse Markets will come to downtown Los Gatos on Oct. 11 and will feature over 40 independent brands, artists, designers and curators.

Santa Cruz Ave. after a delayed opening. The national chain faces a federal lawsuit alleging denial of unpaid leave for postpartum depression and subsequent firing; Pastaria & Market and Tasting House Los Gatos received Golden Spoon distinctions recognizing community-focused culinary leaders.
